Subject:Take-Along Parts
From:Geo & Kathleen Hahn

Having decided to be better prepared on the road I am putting together a
collection of spares to take along.  Mainly trying to address
break-downs that can be diagnosed & fixed in a campground, rest area,
Wal-Mart parking lot, etc.  Looking for suggestions to add to the list.

Can't take everything but here is what I have accumulated so far...

Fuel pump + clamps
Fuel filter
18" of fuel line + clamps
ECU
Coil
Ignition module
Temp 2 sensor
Valve adjustment screw
Valve cover gaskets (2)
One spark plug wire (long enough for any plug)
Distributor cap (just because I have one)
Expansion tank cap (also just because I have one)
Alternator belt

Of course I'll have lots of other non-VW stuff (stopleak, sealants,
extra wire, tools, etc) but mainly I'm interested in suggested
take-along parts.

Yes, I know many travel with just a cell-phone & AAA card... but most of
my travel is in remote areas where such things are not immediately
helpful -- plus I prefer to be somewhat self-reliant.
